Welcome to the Cherise A. Williams Heart Health Campaign, where we lead in heart health by advancing research and promoting prevention. We are here to inspire you to take control of your health and to foster a community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

I am excited you have decided to join us. This website was born from my desire to share valuable and credible information in a place of acceptance, a place of belonging. A place where you are destined to be. As a mom of two sons and someone who embraces lifelong learning, I never anticipated sharing a personal journey through a health crisis that ultimately transformed my life positively.

It is an honor for you to follow my journey. As a massive heart attack survivor I stand before you with no stents and no bypass surgery. I am thankful God gave me another opportunity to be among the land of the living. You must understand the gravity of heart disease. In 2022, heart disease claimed the lives of 702,880 individuals, accounting for 1 in every 5 deaths. Astonishingly, cardiovascular disease causes one death every 33 seconds. I stand strong with you.

This might not be a comfortable conversation for some, but this is one conversation I am bringing to the table unapologetically. You must understand that your heart health is serious business. If my directness seems too much, remember, it is because what happened to me could have happened to anyone that is reading. It's time to be the CEO over your heart health.

Together, let's navigate this place of acceptance to learn, grow, and support each other in our journey towards better health.

You can read an excerpt of my story on the American Heart Association website. This is my 4th year leading another team. We might be small, but we are growing. Thanks to your generosity, we meet our goal every year. Let's keep fighting for heart health together.

Every heartbeat counts - support, donate, join our 2026 team or walk with us! Continue to Nurture the Powerful YOU®with Cherise A. Williams

NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS START NOW!

The Cherise A. Williams Heart Health Campaign

is collaborating with Generation Z on something Amazing! A movement for the next generation of emerging leaders.

This is not your typical advisory board.

This is for the bold. The Disruptors. The unstoppable.

Together, we fight heart disease and protect the next generation. Generation Beta they are not even BORN yet, but they can HEAR us. They are listening. They are coming and they are going to be a FORCE to be reckoned with in the fight against heart disease.

This is not business as usual. This is Gen Z and Gen Alpha raising their voices, spreading awareness, and making heart health a PRIORITY—starting NOW.

We are fighting heart disease with FACTS, not fear.

We are breaking barriers and outdated beliefs about who heart disease affects.

We are creating a NEW narrative—one where prevention, education, and survival WIN.

This is for the bold. The Disruptors. The unstoppable.

Gen Z and Gen Alpha are not just at risk—they are LEADING the charge to change the game. They are the boots on the ground RIGHT NOW.

Gen Beta is listening — they are in the womb, they can HEAR what we are building.

They are absorbing this movement. They are coming into a world where WE already laid the foundation. Where heart health is NON-NEGOTIABLE.

Where knowledge is POWER and survival is the STANDARD.

We are not just saving lives TODAY—we are building a LEGACY for generations who are not even here yet.

Check your heart. Know your risk. Know your numbers. Take control. Save lives—for YOU, for THEM, for the ones who are not even born yet but are already counting on US.

This is BIGGER than us.

This is LEGACY.

YOU GOT This

LET'S GO!

Much Love,
Cherise A. Williams, massive heart attack survivor

Welcome Back! Returning for More?

I have something incredibly important to share. Countless lives have been lost to massive heart attacks, leaving dreams and stories untold, never seeing the light of completion. Yet, here I stand, resilient and strong, embodying what it means to persevere despite adversity. I firmly believe that when women unite with passion and purpose, there is nothing we cannot achieve. This belief and courage accompany me daily, even when the journey feels solitary.

I am thrilled to reveal a special video with you. Each day presents a new opportunity for me to pursue my vision, a chance I do not take for granted. My experiences have shaped me into who I am today, though my quiet strength might not be immediately visible. My journey of survival is profound and empowering.

I have survived a massive heart attack, and now I rise to speak for myself, because if we do not advocate for ourselves, who will?

I invite you to watch this brief, 1-minute clip created for a contest. Its purpose is to inspire and uplift, illustrating that together, as the 2024 Real Woman Class of Survivors, we are an unstoppable force. Remember, our story extends beyond the present—it's a collective journey of resilience and hope. Let’s share this message and make a meaningful impact.

Together, we will impact millions of lives.
